Overview

The Trijicon Credo HX 1-8x28 brings Trijicon's legendary optical quality and durability to the LPVO category, offering a compelling alternative to the Vortex Razor and Nightforce ATACR. With a larger 28mm objective lens compared to typical 24mm LPVOs, the Credo HX delivers exceptional twilight performance and light transmission - a critical advantage during the "golden hours" when most hunting and tactical scenarios occur.

Built on a 30mm tube with premium Japanese glass and Trijicon's BAC (Bindon Aiming Concept) technology, the Credo HX enables true both-eyes-open shooting at 1x for rapid target acquisition. The second focal plane BDC Segmented Circle reticle provides intuitive holdovers calibrated for 5.56/.223 ammunition while maintaining visibility at all magnification levels.

The "HX" designation signifies Trijicon's hunting/tactical line with enhanced features including capped turrets, illuminated reticle, and rugged construction designed to withstand extreme conditions. While not as combat-focused as the VCOG line, the Credo HX delivers the reliability and optical excellence Trijicon is known for at a more accessible price point than their military-contract optics.
